compiling ...

[Andreas Jellinghaus <aj dungeon inka de>]

ok, strange things i found so far, please explain what's wrong,
so i can create local patches for these bugs/features:

a) gnome-libs doesn't build gtktty - in the configure.in it's out commented
	with dnl ...
   no need to say : many parts still want it and do not compile without.
b) gnome-config / gtk-config
aj@fw-athene:~/gnome/gnome-gfdisk$ gnome-config --libs-only-l gnomeui
-rdynamic -lgnomeui -lgdk_imlib -ljpeg -lgif -lpng -lz -lSM -lICE -lgtk -lgdk
-lgmodule -lXext -lX11 -lm -lgnome -lgnomesupport -ldb -lglib -ldl
aj@fw-athene:~/gnome/gnome-gfdisk$ gtk-config --libs
-L/opt/gnome/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl
-lXext -lX11 -lm

some apps like gfdisk only call gnome-config, and that way they don't get the
"-L/opt/gnome/lib" they need, and cannot link. is this a bug in gfdisk or
gnome-config ?

c) compiling gtkGL failed in testgtkGL.c ...
	(log file available on demand).
d) aorta : doesn't call glib-config to get the -L/opt/gnome/lib path
e) baboon: libgnorba is in gnome-libs or so. it should be changed to compile
	(it still tries to work with the (nwo empty) libgnorba subdir, and
	tries to get the lib from there (../../libgnorba/libgnorba.la).
	but even with fixing that, it doesn't compile.
f) e doesn't compile : 
ttfont.c: In function `Efont_load':
ttfont.c:741: structure has no member named `num_CharMaps'

g) gmedia: 
/nethome/aj/gnome/gmedia/libgmedia/gmedia.c:428: undefined reference to `dlclose

h) gnumeric: 
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `about.c', needed by `about.o'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/nethome/aj/gnome/gnumeric/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
